Curriculum

The extensiveness of the Module’s programme is expressed in Units.
1 Unit equals to 3 hours of workload, consisting of a 30-minute lecture and 2,5 hours of additional reading.

For instance:
2 Units = 6 hours of workload = 60-minute lecture + 5 hours of additional reading.

Examination regulations (Module Tests and Certificate Examination)

At the end of each module participants have to pass a mandatory online test that has to be submitted to Ulm University. Only participants who passed the four tests will have access to the Certificate Exam at the end of the Programme.

Module Tests:
The written multiple-choice Module Test is deemed to have been passed if a minimum of 60% of the questions were answered correctly.
Module Tests are not graded and can be re-taken as often as necessary until the Test is passed.

Certificate Examination:
The Certificate Exam will be taken at Seminar 3 of the Programme.
The written multiple-choice Certificate Examination is deemed to have been passed if a minimum of 60% of
the questions were answered correctly. The grades are as follows:

1 = very good, 90% or more;
2 = good, 80% or more but less than 90%;
3 = satisfactory, 70% or more but less than 80%;
4 = sufficient, 60% or more but less than 70%;
5 = insufficient, less than 60%.

The Examination is also deemed to have been passed if the number of questions answered correctly by the participant falls short of the average examination result for all first-time examinees for this examination by no more than 10% provided that the examinee answered a minimum of 50% of the questions correctly.
Failed Examination may be re-taken twice but only within the time of attendance of Seminar 3, or during the next Programme Seminar of the following cohort.
